The Las Vegas Raiders travel on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in this NFL Wildcard Matchup. Las Vegas has been the hottest team in the NFL over the last month winning their last four games and beating the Chargers to make the NFL playoffs. The Raiders have a solid defense and are a tough football team, but will they be able to slow down the Bengal's dynamic offense? Cincinnati has one of the best WR cores in the NFL with all of them being really good at making plays after the catch. Is the secondary of the Las Vegas Raiders good enough to shut down the Cincinnati Bengals WRs? AFC East foes the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills meet for the third time this season in the wildcard round of the NFL Playoffs. The Bills won the last game when these two teams faced off and are looking to beat the Patriots one more time to keep their season alive. Buffalo has been one of the best teams in the AFC this season led by their star QB Josh Allen and the best defense in the league how will rookie QB Mac Jones fair? The Patriots have lost 3 out of their last 4 games and Mac Jones has struggled. Can Mac Jones lead the Patriots to a victory in his first-ever playoff game? The Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wildcard Round of the NFL Playoffs. The Chiefs dominated Pittsburgh in their last encounter 36-10. For Pittsburgh will they be able to have more success against the Kansas City defense the second go-around? Will the Steelers' defense find a way to get the Chief's offense off the field? The Steelers enter this game with a 9-7-1 record finding a way to sneak into the playoffs. The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has been solid with TJ Watt leading the NFL in sacks and making another Pro Bowl appearance alongside Cam Heyward. Both Watt and Heyward will need to have big performances being able to get constant pressure on Mahomes and the Chief's offense. Will the Kansas City Chiefs dominate the Pittsburgh Steelers again or will the Steelers be able to pull off the upset? Philadelphia takes on Tampa Bay in the Wildcard Round of the NFL Playoffs. This will be the second time these two teams face off this season with the Buccaneers winning the previous matchup 28-22. The Eagles are one of the most surprising teams in the NFL this season, having low expectations from most fans and analysts going into this season, they’ve found a way to sneak into the playoffs led by first-year HC Nick Sirianni. Despite their surprising season, Philadelphia will have to beat the defending Super Bowl champions the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if they look to keep their championship hopes alive. The Buccaneers have one of the most talented rosters in the league but however, have a lack of proven talent at WR with Chris Godwin out for the season and Antonio Brown recently released which Bucs pass catcher will step up in this matchup? The Eagles lead the NFL in rushing yards per game but will they have success running on the Buccaneer's elite run defense? Will Jalen Hurts be an effective enough passer to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to the next round of the NFL Playoffs? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jtsports/support
